Background:
- On 31 March, the Moscow Metro’s website suffered a failure, with a message from Ukrainian Railways appearing on its homepage.
- Earlier, on 23 March, Ukrainian Railways came under a large-scale cyberattack, disrupting nearly all of its online services.
- By the morning of 27 March, Ukrzaliznytsia restored its online ticket sales system in a backup mode, allowing for ticket purchases and returns. Due to increased demand following the system’s partial restoration, some issues were reported with the app and ticketing website.
